Is this an "historical/realist" orfantasy game? either way i love management games may addto the play later list.

Well I love history so my goal is to keep it as grounded as possible (like the first book or season of game of thrones), especially the main story. No one is going to throw fireballs there. But there will be "secret" content that is more fantasy like. TL;DR There's elves and stuff but no magic in general.

No magic but there is medicine. There are no wizards but there are witches and alchemist.

Dont fret so much about what fetishes you add dev. Generally the more the better, as it means your game is easier to find when people go looking for new games to play here.

I just suggest hiding more niche/controversial content via conversations or settings. Stuff like futa, gay, feet, ntr etc. Other fetishes like incest, maledom, public etc are common so should be fine. Just focus on content you personally enjoy, and add other fetishes as side charecters or side quests kind of thing.

So when people ask what kind of content youll add, just say the stuff you personally enjoy. If youre unsure about rather you want it, dont say it or say you havent decided on it.

Lol I love the idea that this is probably the only community where incest is seen as common, but yeah, I'll follow your advice

The game is so worth it just for its concept alone, I hope you get some good patreon money to keep it going. You should create a signature banner to promote your game on here but you may want to add more NSFW content before that. I think the art style is ok though somewhat lifeless looking if I was to critique it at all, maybe you could offer an artist a cut if money roles in (art consistency is WAY more important though). The mechanics and game design are great and sorely needed in the gaming world, there's such a lack of games like this, well done dev.

p.s oh and I checked out your fetish poll, if you plan on adding any kind of cock to a girl lol head over to fenoxo's blog tons of patreon treasure to be earned doing that kind of thing there ( this forum tends to dislike futa and NTR abit)

Yeah, I definitely want to increase the quality of the art eventually. It's just that right now since I'm doing everything I cheat quite a bit so I can create content consistently. The alternative would be spend more time but have less variants of the arts and that is something I rather not do. But I'm glad you like the concept!

Hahahaha yeah, I was surprised that option did so well. But I'm actually liking the idea of having a bit of everything like Summertime Saga. Except NTR, I ain't into that.

ColdFingers · Dec 13, 2019

"Except NTR, I ain't into that" me neither lol

If you do get an artist when the money gets better remember to get a contract as artists on commission aren't reliable. You may want to keep it cartoony looking like the pleasuremancer to make it more palatable and ensure if a contract goes south the new guy can copy it like princess & conquest did with gats.

If you get it going with the patreon try itch.io aswell mate, I'm not on patreon but i'd get your game there

I'll keep your advice in mind if that time comes. Right now I'm trying to spread so it is on itch.io for free and I made a subscribestar since it has more freedom for what I heard.

For Itch, I think you can setup donations with it. When someone downloads your game a window pops up asking if you want to donate or not. Unsure if its still there, havent downloaded there in forever.

As for Patreon, a lot of adult devs got rocked hard by it earlier this year. Im not sure what exact fetishes got slammed, but according to its guidelines:
necrophilia
beastiality
sexual violence (this always confused me, "choke me daddy" followed by chocking, isnt that sexual violence?"
loli/shota
Incest (most incest isnt allowed, some got away with it, some managed to bypass this in some ways as well, though only a matter of time before that gets shut down as well.)
There may be more though, as its basically up for interpretation.

I just did a quick search of subscribestar, and they didnt list anything that would censor adult games, unless your adding racist propoganda into your game at some point. So, basically if youre planning to implement content that normal people would be afraid to admit theyre attracted to, such as anything mentioned above, leave patreon, as it may not be a great long term solution. Otherwise, unless your taking a stand against censorship or something, no real reason to leave patreon.

Either way, may wanna edit the op to have your subscribestar.

I'll try to set that up

Well peddling racist propaganda isn't one of my kinks either so I should be fine.

Yeah, I guess I was just a bit afraid of putting all the eggs on one basket, but it doesn't really make sense to put any trust in a shaky platform that will police me, so maybe I should get rid of it now that I can.
